Earth Day From Oil?

Another in a not-so-regular series of posts highlighting nature's nature & 'ain't that odd'

Did an oil platform blowout in 1969, in California initiate the birth of Earth Day?

And, do many eco-environ-greeners still think the 60's technology is being used today?

Well, they might still think the same risk exists today without acknowledging the facts of oil spills relative devastation and pollution in terms of tsunamis, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and especially volcano eruptions. Which has done more "damage" to our environment?

Shouldn't we apply our focus and resources in areas we could be getting our largest return to community, nature, economic model, and humanity? Are we? Go figue!
